gosh could be piston rings
intake valve - .012inch. exhaust valve - .014inch.
8 intake 12 exhaust ????
Close one hole of your nose and try to breath in. Feel any difference. Coming back to the subject. By increasing the # of valves you get the below features. a) better combustion chamber shape, resulting in better combustion, resulting in better power and fuel economy. There are intake valves and exhaust valves. On the intake side, the intake valve opens which lets the fuel/air mixture into the combusion chamber. At some point (measured in degrees of crank rotation) the intake valve closes, the air/fuel mixture is compressed and ignited by the spark plug. Then the spent mixture exits the cylinder when the exhaust valve opens. Valve configuration varies somewhat, but regardless of how many valves there are there will always be at least one intake and one exhaust valve. Some cylinder heads have 2 intake and 2 exhaust valves which is what is described as the 4-valve per cylinder setup. As the first two responders pointed out, you have intake valves, which let air in a diesel, or air plus gas in a gasoline engine, into the cylinder; and exhaust valves, which let the spent gases leave the cylinder. One important thing multiple valves can do for you is to let the spark plug be put in the center of the cylinder, from where the flame front can radiate evenly through the chamber. A 16-valve engine (if it's a 4-cylinder) has two intake and two exhaust valves. A 16-valve engine could also be an 8-cylinder engine with 1 intake and 1 exhaust valve per cylinder. A 12-valve engine has two intake and one exhaust valve (if it's a 4 cylinder engine). a 12-valve engine may also be a 6-cylinder engine with 1 intake and 1 exhaust valve per cylinder. evan was here
There should be a placard under the hood listing the valve clearance. 12 and 16 valve engines Intake and auxiliary valves .007 to .009 in (.17 to .22mm) Exhaust Valves (carbureted 12 valve engine) .007 to .009 in (.17 to .22mm) Exhaust Valves (all others) .009 to .011 in (.22 to .27mm) 8 valve engine Intake valves .005 to .007 in (.12 to .17mm) Exhaust valve .007 to .009 in (.17 to .22mm)
between 7-12 thousandths exhaust and intake are different
when you removed cylinder head or when they are noisy . do it when cold ( 8 thou for intake )and (12 thou for exhaust )
From the manual: 5.7L V-8 The PCV valve is mounted into the top of the intake manifold, located to the right / rear of the throttle body (Fig. 12). The PCV valve is sealed to the intake manifold with 2 o-rings (Fig. 13). (1) Remove PCV valve by rotating counter-clockwise 90 degrees until locating tabs have been freed. After tabs have cleared, pull valve straight up from intake manifold. (2) After valve is removed, check condition of 2 valve o-rings.
located about 12 inches right of oil fill cap.attached to front valve cover.
12. one intake and one exhaust valve for ea. cylinder. The 3.8 is a V6 engine.
12 thousandths on both intake and exhaust valves is the clearance on that Z24 engine
Pcv valve on a 3.0L V6 Mazda tribute is buried under the intake manifold. It is approximately under the throttle valve. It is NOT inserted into a rubber grommet in the rocker cover. It is screwed into the lower intake manifold. Use a deep 7/8" 12 point socket to twist it 90 degrees to the left to remove it and reverse this to put it in. Be sure to replace the PCV valve when replacing the spark plugs since all needs to have the intake manifold removed to get to them.Normally located on top of the valve cover.AnswerMost are inserted into a rubber grommet in the rocker cover.
On a 98 rav4 you disconnect the two rubber hoses one on top and one on the side, you then remove the 12 mm nuts that bolt the valve to the intake manifold, then you remove the 10 mm screws from the bottom of the valve that goes to the cylinder head.
